I gave them the name of the facility that did the original ultrasound as requested. The soonest they could get me in was 3.5 weeks later. They like to see you 7-10 days after so I was very anxious to get it checked out. After waiting 3.5 weeks, I get checked in and wait 30 minutes and get all the way back to get undressed and was told they could not do the scans bc they didn't have all of my years of mammograms from diagnostic imaging. They literally turned me away. They have to do these scans anyway but refused until they got my history which was a ball drop on their part. The human thing to do would have been to scan me and then wait for the images they didn't request. Now I have to wait until they get my prior images and call me to reschedule. Unbelievable. Completely unacceptable.

Having a degree from here I can say it was an average experience. The students and some of the…read morefaculty were great. The university's administration though needs changes. Few of my friends obtained an education worth much other than the degree to put on the wall and check off the requirement of having a degree to apply for a job. While there were a few good professors who challenged us to think and who gave us a real education and not a simple memorize the answers in the book and remember them well enough to fill in a circle on a exam, that was not the case for most of my professors. They had many classes that were so large there was no value of actually going to them other than having to do so often so you had attendance in class to pass. I can recall one large class taught by a professor who could effectively teach a large class, but other than that professor the rest of them had no ability to teach a large class and should never have been put in charge of doing it. There is a great school pride of the football and mens basketball team more so now. Which is great and great, but it does not replace or make up for a lacking educational experience. Don't expect much a degree from here to get you any special consideration over other 4 years colleges. While many large corporations like to recruit from universities like K-State because the students graduate without expecting a lot or feeling entitled to much and have a strong work ethic that is only partially a positive by product of an education here. Students are taught to be yes students and to be good employees, not to be CEOs or entrepreneurs or young men and woman who will significantly impact our nation or the world. You would also expect a University in the heartland of America to be more conservative and it is more so than KU a few hours away, but the student body of which is more conservative is not represented accordingly by the University faculty and administration of which is more liberal in general. If you send your kids here expect that bias to attempt to influence your kids from a liberal bias in many areas. The grants and scholarships are not readily available to every student. If you have an area you excel in you may get a scholarship for it or in athletics or if you have a low family income or are a minority you may qualify for one. If your family is middle class and you are not a minority and do not excel in any area then don't expect any scholarships or grants. Although, you can rest assured the Alumni Association will track you down and mail you and call you in attempts to get donations for the university. The parking may have improved since I was a student there, but not likely by much. You will want to live close enough to campus to walk to class, don't make the mistake of living far away and having to drive to class. It's not worth the hassle and I found as I lived closer to the university the students I lived near tended to have a better focus and direction in life of which was refreshing. If you are a self driven individual and have talents and abilities to excel in areas it is also hard to do so here as most of the systems in place are setup to move you along at the pace the university has established. There is a semi separation of the student body in greek and non greek and it is semi click like. Not really one way, but both ways. The greek system does tend to have more influence simply because they are organized and non greek students are not organized and as such are not likely to ever have more influence than the greek students. Either student body group can be positive or negative. The greek system in the wrong house or the wrong group can be destructive to every area of your life, but in the right house and the right group of peers be positive and life changing in every area. This is the same for the non greek students too though, and is best explain in that you become most like those you closely associate with and spend time with. If you want to be someone who someone of good character and quality will want to marry one day and start a family with and you want to have a successful career then associate with the people with similar goals and desires. I saw in enough peers around me the effects of being around the wrong people in college and contrary to the popular idea that you can do what ever you want in college and change once you leave to start a family and be successful in life - that is not what I observed from those I knew and watched. Maybe in 10 years after college you can recover and change, but the path you put yourself on in college is very hard to magically change once you are out of college and in the real world. That is my advice from my time at K-State. I have my degree from there and I have it framed and I am glad I put in my 4 years to get it. It has however sit on my wall in a framed glass case and that is all I have found use for it.

Latin and Theology are mainstays of the curriculum, with heavy doses of Literature, Philosophy, and History, with the bare minimum sprinklings of math and science that any accredited liberal arts college bears with. Good, decent young men and women here, excellent, dedicated teachers.

The rooms that I have been in were all very neat, clean, and orderly. I have been to the Ottawa campus once before with my wife, who works for NCCC, when were just passing through. I really enjoyed the feel of this campus and will enjoy the next couple times that I will be there for this one class.
